Comment [D.S7]: Overall this is good effort Daniel. You
have evaluated your own engagement with your physical
activity as well as questioning why Australia’s over all
involvement and engagement with PA is on the decline,
whilst mentioning some of the various health befits and how
they apply to you.

A little more application and effort during class may have
helped you fill out parts one and two with a little more detail
and make appropriate changes to your fitness plan in order
to meet the physical activity guide lines.
